Crimping Procedure
(1) Hold the handles with the tool positioned as shown in
Figure 2
, facing the operator. Feed terminals
one at a time (pre-cut strips) into the crimping area of hand-tool through terminal guide (see Figure 3)
by hand.
(2) Close the handles completely until ratchet releases to open handles.
(3) Straighten wire before placing in hand-tool. Insert the stripped end of the wire into wire barrel of
terminal.
(4) Close handles with wire held in crimping area until ratchet releases. In order to obtain the
appropriate crimp condition, this hand-tool is provided with a ratchet mechanism. Close the handle
fully to reach the proper crimp condition and allow for opening of the hand tool.
(5) Remove terminal after crimping.
(6) Lightly oil every third to fourth wire and insulation terminal barrels using terminal lubrication (IE
Stoner E805).
